Skin

Everything drifts

In and out of time

Nothing stays

Nothing ever changes

And I wanted to give you all

But there was nothing left to give

I read your skin

Then I tore it off

It’s a bare future

Lying ahead of us

But please don’t say

It was a waste of time

We were not wasting time

We were not wasting time

Because you only know

Its value when it’s gone

It’s only memorable

By the scars it leaves
